Yes, it is designed to get you hooked so you can find out what is behind the next door. A scam!! Heheh!
Buy the game, you wont regret it -- that is, unless you actually like having a life away from your computer screen

Not only does it have a turn limit of 40, but it also has a magic cap of L4. And there are several game-start features (such as mods) that are not enabled in the demo as well.

Buy the game. It's worth it.

Yeah it is worse than that not only do they rip you off with the demo but it is so addictive you have to go buy the fullgame. Like free cocaine

The Dominions 1 was done very differently. It let you finish a game, even multiplayer, using all the nations. But it "greyed out" some of the units for each nation.

But Im not sure how the Dom2 demo can be called a rip-off
After all, it was a free download. Didnt it mention that it limited turns, research, and which nations you could play?

Besides Shrapnel.com? There's also Gogamer.com, who has it for $39.90 at this link.
